Smithers


Smithers is a lovely place to visit.  The mountains are so gorgeous.  Last time we were here they were covered in snow.  My cousin Sharon lived here for many years.  

We couldn't find a restaurant that was open and serving breakfast.  So, we went to Tim Horton's.  We have a Tim Horton's close to our home but we rarely go there.  I take Lexie through the take out when she has a sleep over and I've never noticed the door handles.  The door handles at this Timmies is a hockey stick!  I don't know if any other Timmies has  hockey sticks as a door openers but I thought it was unique!


We drove from Smithers to Costco in Prince George.  We needed gas and I was thrilled with the gas prices!  When we left Surrey the Chevron station at our corner was $1.719 a litre.  Check this out:



We got to Quesnel at 2:30 and I texted Cec's cousin.  They met us at our hotel and we had a great afternoon.  Their daughter and son-in-law joined us for dinner.  We had a great visit!  

Tomorrow we will return home.  We will check again on the fire/road situation and figure out our route.
